Baby 3 - 22 Weeks

I had my latest OB appointment on Wednesday morning.  She said everything from my ultrasound looked good and that the bloodwork from my second trimester screening (for Down's) came back good as well.  I had the second trimester screening done because I missed the time frame for the first trimester and it's what I had done with Emma so we trusted it.   I asked how the cyst on my ovary looked (remember I was stressing out because Mom had ovarian cancer) and she looked completely confused.  She reponsed with, I saw that they measured your ovaries and I was wondering why.  I guess that's what they were doing.  UH, she was the one that requested them to scan them again to ease my mind! Don't they look at charts to refresh their memories before they come in to see you?!?!  Anyway, I guess I'll take that as good news because if they saw something scary, she would have seen it and would have had to tell me, so everything was good.
